    62 year old guy.

    I was given a bear when I was born. His name is Growl. I have never once been ashamed of him or hidden him away.

    Much more recently (last 10 or 15 years) I was gifted a Build-a-bear Chewbacca. I will never hide him away either.

      I love this!

      I have a handful of stuffed animals, but my most prized ones are Teddy the bear that my pop-pop gave me at the hospital when I was born and a cat that my grandmother hand stitched, she made one for each of her grandchildren and mine is one of few that are still around. I’m 41 and I have also never been ashamed 😊

      Word! I’m a nearly 40 guy.

      I got a blue bear when I was born. It is called bear. It has a few stitches, and a hole in it’s ear. I also have a blue mouse called Mouse.

      They’ve been sitting on the shelves in the kids rooms for many years now.
